ComradeAmosov,

Afteryou left last night, I was told that the All-Russia
Central Trade Union Council had adopted its
decision.[1]My advice is to submit to it, and concentrate entirely on
thoughtful execution (swift, firm preparation for the
congress).

Thatis only a piece of advice.

However,if all of you still disagree, there remains one
way: appeal the All-Russia Central T.U.C. decision with the
Central Committee (the Politbureau or the Plenum).

V.Ulyanov(Lenin)Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars

[1]Areference to a decision of the Presidium of the All-Russia
Central T.U.C. of December 11, 1920, concerning the work of the
organising commission for convening the First All-Russia
Congress of Transport Workers (the decision to call the congress was
passed by the R.C.P.(B.) C.C. on December 7), and the agenda
of the congress and the rapporteurs. The congress was held in
Moscow from March 22 to 31, 1921. Lenin delivered a speech at
the congress (see present edition, Vol. 32, pp. 272–84).
